I was very enthusiastic about your pdf printing sdk and If I can get the demo to print I am certain we will be making a purchase, However, your demo does not seem to work. I get no errors but nothing is ever sent to the printer. I've tried using the printer name that we use, but it just does not print at all.
The code seems straightforward enough. Do I need an actual license key to work with the demo? Other than pathing to the dll and the printer name I have changed nothing in your code example. However neither this code nor your compiled applications will print. The documentation with the demo is pretty skimpy and insufficient for me to be able to figure out what is going on, I am hoping the documentaiton in your licensed version is more comprehensive.
The code I've used is below, I get the same result with this that I do when I run your compiled apps. Always a return code of -4. Nothing more and nothing prints. I really want to use your solution if it can be made to actually work. Please help so I can present this to my superiors as a viable solution to our pdf printing requirements.
